Monday Shop Update: Celebrate Oktoberfest




I am sharing a little shop update with y'all this morning: for the month of October, vintage beer coasters have free shipping in both my Etsy and Big Cartel stores. Drink up and shop on!

What is to come for June this week? She is opening up her little craft room soon so the stores will be sporting some lovely vintage patterns, linens, and vintage craft supplies! {This addition to the shops is really my "vision" for where June Vintage will shine- fabulous kitchen goods and a great source of vintage craft resources...I can't wait!} Here is a little sneak peak:

Crafting a Vintage-Inspired Office

While I love the lazy days of summer, I really get motivated when fall comes around to get things organized around the house. I enjoy using thrifted, vintage and upcycled goodies around the house-both for the aesthetic and the fact that I believe in supporting the businesses behind these goods. Here is a little inspiration from the vintage and indie business world to spruce up your work space:

beauty in the details

My family and I went to town to check out a new auction house to check out both new and old stuff to bring home...it was hot and we knew that we would be trying to wrangle an almost three year old in a room full of people. I chose to wear this light cotton vintage shirt...and it amazes me how the little details can be so fresh in something that is technically old.

I wonder whose hands buttons these in their past life...

The perfect green, lemon yellow and beautiful blues...lovely...

While lace is not something that is usually me, but on a shirt that seems to be just a normal shirt, it makes a sweet addition to the collar.


And, surely, I am not the only one that is in love with vintage clothing labels!
{I wish all my clothes were "Perma-Prest"...that would make life much easier!}
As I am entering the amzing world of vintage sellers, I am blown away by the diversity, knowledge and style of all those I meet. The beauty of us all is truly in our details.
